Adding 2nd Xbox one to household...have questions

Hey all

I have had my xbox one for years now and myself and my son both share my gamertag to play games. I just picked up a new xbox one s to put in my living room and put the older one in my sons room. My questions are...

Can we both use the same gamertag from two consoles?

If not, how can I go about sharing the gold membership and all game save data, I don't want him nor I to have to start our games all over again.

Any type of info would be really helpful.

Thanks,

Josh

:)

Thank you, turns out there were a few PS exclusives that he really wanted, or most of his friends are on PSN, either way he declined the offer of an X1 and opted for the PS3, but whatever makes him happy. But least I have this info in case things change
in the future.

1. Sounds about right. His account would need to be a Live account, but with the Home setting you guys can share a gold subscription on that console too. So you would only need to pay for a subscription on your account.

2. It works the same as if you purchased them directly from the marketplace.

3. This one I'm not sure of

4. Yes.

5. Right. Since the discs still need to be in the drive, you would only be able to play on one console at a time.

 

You can have your gamertag on both consoles, but it may only be logged on with
one console at a time.

The "Home" designation allows Gold subscription and digital game library sharing with other Xbox accounts downloaded and logged on at the Home console.
